If you’re looking to add a splash of sunshine to your Budapest trip, this brunch experience might just be what you need. Set in a stylish spot in Buda’s Széna Square, the tour combines a vibrant tropical atmosphere with a thoughtfully curated menu and unlimited drinks. It’s not a typical brunch — it’s a chance to indulge in flavorful bites while soaking up a lively, beach-inspired vibe.
What really caught my eye about this experience are two things. First, the careful attention to ambiance, with Bali and Australian design elements creating a relaxed, tropical feel right in the city. Second, the guaranteed table reservation, which promises a stress-free, no-rush meal—especially nice when you’re catching up with friends or celebrating something special. A potential consideration is the price point of $91 per person, which might seem steep for some, but given the inclusions, it’s pretty competitive.
This brunch is well-suited for anyone who appreciates good food and a laid-back atmosphere. Whether you’re a foodie wanting diverse flavors, someone celebrating a weekend, or simply in need of a relaxing escape, you’ll likely find this experience appealing. Just keep in mind that parking isn’t included, so plan for that if you’re arriving by car.

The Menu Breakdown
The vegan menu features likely crowd-pleasers such as a citrus salad, mango smoothie bowl with granola, vegan avocado toast, shakshuka (a spicy tomato-based dish), and a vegan dessert. Meanwhile, the traditional menu includes a citrus salad, mango smoothie bowl, avocado toast with smoked salmon or serrano ham, shakshuka with a poached egg, and a sweet pistachio LuluMisu.
Each dish is small but thoughtfully prepared, giving you the chance to taste a variety of flavors. We loved the way the small plates are balanced—bright, fresh, and satisfying without being overly heavy. The smoothie bowls and salads give a fresh start, while the shakshuka and avocado toast provide comforting, hearty bites.

The unlimited drinks are a key highlight. For 1.5 hours, you can indulge in prosecco, cava, mimosas, gin & tonic, and more. The selection makes it easy to keep the drinks flowing without worry. Think of it as a leisurely, celebratory vibe—whether you’re catching up with friends or enjoying a weekend treat.
The inclusion of specialty coffee, fresh juices, lemonade, and filtered water means you won’t feel dehydrated or left wanting even if you’re not drinking alcohol. The drinks list is designed to be flexible, accommodating those who prefer non-alcoholic options or want a little bubbly to toast.
The Experience Beyond the Menu
Many reviews mention the relaxing pace of the brunch. The reservation ensures your table is waiting, so there’s no rush to finish your food. You can truly unwind, enjoy the tropical setting, and chat without feeling hurried. The 1.5-hour duration is perfect for a late-morning or early afternoon treat, fitting easily into a leisurely weekend.
The setting itself, with Bali and Australian influences, provides a refreshing change of scenery from the more traditional Budapest cafés. It’s a bit of an escape, even if you’re just steps from the city center. The vibrant décor and casual vibe make it a great choice for those who want a bit of sunshine, even if outside the weather isn’t cooperating.
